The owner of this café is incredibly kind and generous. Travelling alone to this little town for a reason many may share, I was greeted with warmth. She treated me to two tapas, insisting they were free, saying, “Welcome to Italy.” In the cold winter of northern Italy, this gesture meant more than anything I could have expected. The Negroni I ordered was also delightful. If you’re visiting Crema for Call Me by Your Name, don’t miss the chance to experience this true highlight of humanity.

Posto carinissimo e personale come piace a me: cordiale, gentile e amichevole. Le persone malmostose e fredde non fanno per me. Cappuccino ottimo e brioche sfogliata e burrosa. Insomma, ci tornerò senz'altro!

Tipica caffetteria di passaggio nel corso principale di Crema con arredamento da bar classico. Nella saletta alcuni tavolini per conversazione, sicuramente più adatti all'inverno, poiché l'aria condizionata non vi arriva. In estate alcuni tavolini di buongusto sono posti antistante all'ingresso. Punto di forza la caffetteria, ma niente male neanche cocktail e prosecchi, serviti con tartine e salatini. Personale simpatico, svelto e gentile

Ottimo locale, servizio veloce, personale sempre cortese i titolari consigliano i piatti del giorno, che variano sempre, ampia scelta tra primi e secondi piadine e toast, dolci. In estate e possibile pranzare sia all' interno che all' esterno. Consigliato il caffè . Prezzi inferiori alla media.
